 # Class Template Generator

Bash script to create a simple C++ template class with its respective constructor, getters, and setters.

## Usage

To use this script, you need to provide arguments to it via the CLI. 

### Positional arguments in order:

* The first argument represents the class name. You don't need to provide the extension, it will be written as a .h file.

* The next arguments will represent the type and name of the attribute, respectively. 

`$ ./createClass.sh    ...`

## Example

Suppose you want to create a class called Person, with an int attribute for age and a string attribute for name. You need to run the script like this:

`$ ./createClass.sh Person int age string name`

Which will produce the following output in the file Person.h:

    #ifndef Person_h

    #define Person_h

    #include 

    using namespace std;

 

    // Class definition 

    class Person {

 

    // Private attributes 

        private: 

            int age;

            string name;

 

    // Public methods 

        public: 

    // Constructor 

          Person::Person(); 

    //Getters 

          int get_age(); 

          string get_name(); 

    //Setters 

          void set_age(int); 

          void set_name(string); 

    // ToString Method 

          void toString(); 

    }; 

     

     // Constructor initializes attributes to 0 by default 

     Person::Person() {

        age= 0; 

        name= 0;

    }

    

    // Getters 

    int Person::get_age() { return age; }

    string Person::get_name() { return name; }

 

    //Setters 

    void Person::set_age(int new_age) { age= new_age; }

    void Person::set_name(string new_name) { name= new_name; }

  

    //ToString 

    void Person::toString() {

      cout << "age" << age << endl; 

      cout << "name" << name << endl; 

    }

   

    #endif

    

You can have a class with as many attributes as you want, but first write its type and then its name.

**NOTE: if you are using a computer with a non-UNIX environment (like Windows), you might need to do some extra leg work ro run the bash script in case you haven't installed it. Here's a StackOverflow [answer](https://stackoverflow.com/questions/6413377/is-there-a-way-to-run-bash-scripts-on-windows) that can help you.**

## About collaborating

Feel free to collaborate to this project if you'd like to. Any additional feature or code refactoring is welcome. Happy hacking!

### Some ideas

* Developing another script that creates a `main.cpp` file that instantiates the class created.

* Modularizing the code to make it cleaner.

* Adding a destructor to the class.

* Change code notation to camel case.
